Rev 0135
OS: Mac OS X 10.5.2, Windows XP SP2, Vista (not checked on Linux)
Java version 1.6

Using either Java2d or P3D with Java 1.6, sketches that do a lot of
computation per frame (enough to cause significant frame rate reduction)
are not only causing frame rate reduction, but actual skipping of frame draws.

An applet that usually causes this using Java2d is up at
http://www.jbox2d.org/demos/dominotower.html - the boxes flying at the
tower should be moving smoothly, which they do using a 1.5 VM, but with 1.6
installed, they skip several frames (unless your computer is really
fast...) between each one drawn.

I will see if I can put together a lightweight Processing sketch to test
this directly.
